'Dancing with the Stars' judge Carrie Ann Inaba vacations before season

The new cast of "Dancing with the Stars" is set to be unveiled a week from Tuesday on "Good Morning America" -- and judge Carrie Ann Inaba seems to be intent on getting as much of her vacation time in now before the show returns.

In a new series of photos here, you can see Inaba enjoying as much time as possible while taking in the sun in Hawaii. The reality judge has had a difficult few seasons, in particular this past fall where she clashed with Maksim Chmerkovskiy on a number of occasions. (She has also had it out in the past with Tony Dovolani.)

As for who Carrie Ann will be judging, there have been countless rumors involving everyone from Dolly Parton to Deena from "Jersey Shore" -- but we will actually find out the truth within eight days.
